A student who withdraws should do so officially through the office of Student Development and the Business Office. Failure to withdraw officially could result in the assignment of an "F" grade for the work attempted and in a forfeit of refunds. It is the student's responsibility to be sure his registration is correct.
During Drop/Add Period. The drop/add period consists of the first five days of classes each semester, except for summer semester. If students decide to drop or add a course, they should come by Student Development and fill out a withdrawal/add form. Instructor's permission is not required during this period. Students who do not attend a class at least once, and not officially drop the class, will receive a "NS" grade for the class. A grade of "NS" applies if a student never physically attends. Official drops for such classes must be completed by students within the drop/add period.
After Drop/Add Period. If students decide that they need to drop a onine class after the drop/add period, they need to follow these procedures:
- Check your course syllabus concerning drop policies.
- Contact the instructor to request dropping the course.
- Students receiving financial aid should notify the Financial Aid Office of any changes in their schedule. simpsona@surry.edu
- The student will be notified once the drop process is complete.
Students must make certain their registration is correct. This procedure is the responsibility of the students and is one of the most important functions they have as a college student.
When a student officially withdraws from school or a class after the drop/add period, a "W" (withdrew) grade will be assigned unless the instructor determines that the student's performance at the point of withdrawal has been unsatisfactory. A student can only receive a "W" if they have actually attended class.
A "NS" grade cannot be changed to a "W." If the instructor's evaluation of the student's status is unsatisfactory, an "F" grade will be recorded on the transcript at the end of the semester. If a punitive grade ("F") is going to be assigned, the student is encouraged to continue in the class in an effort to earn a passing or non-punitive ("W") grade.
ACA Withdrawals. ACA 111 is required for all first-year, full-time students. Students who decide to drop this class will need to have their withdrawal/add forms signed by the appropriate dean, in addition to following the procedures described above. Students who have completed at least 24 semester hours during a previous period of enrollment, with a GPA of 3.0, will be waived from the ACA 111 requirement See your Admissions Counselor to complete this request.
The orientation will be available to new students Monday, December 21st. You will need to obtain your user account information in order to complete the orientation.
